Evolution of technology in replacement of heart valves: Transcatheter aortic valves, a revolution for management of valvular heart diseases

There is a demand for providing evidence on the effectiveness of research investments on the promotion of novice researchers' scientific productivity and production of research with new initiatives and innovations. We used a mixed method approach to evaluate the funding effect of the New Investigator Fund (NIF) by comparing scientific productivity between award recipients and non-recipients. We reviewed NIF grant applications submitted from 2004 to 2013. Scientific productivity was assessed by confirming the publication of the NIF-submitted application. Online databases were searched, independently and in duplicate, to locate the publications. Applicants' perceptions and experiences were collected through a short survey and categorized into specified themes. Multivariable logistic regression was performed. Odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) are reported. Of 296 applicants, 163 (55%) were awarded. Gender, affiliation, and field of expertise did not affect funding decisions. More physicians with graduate education (32.0%) and applicants with a doctorate degree (21.5%) were awarded than applicants without postgraduate education (9.8%). Basic science research (28.8%), randomized controlled trials (24.5%), and feasibility/pilot trials (13.3%) were awarded more than observational designs (p < 0.001). Adjusting for applicants and application factors, awardees published the NIF application threefold more than non-awardees (OR = 3.4, 95%, CI = 1.9, 5.9). The survey response rate was 90.5%, and only 58% commented on their perceptions, successes, and challenges of the submission process. These findings suggest that research investments as small as seed funding are effective for scientific productivity and professional growth of novice investigators and production of research with new initiatives and innovations. Further efforts are recommended to enhance the support of small grant funding programs.

Purpose Growth in scientific production and productivity over the 20th century resulted significantly from three major countries in European science – France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Charting the development of universities and research institutes that bolster Europe’s key position in global science, we uncover both stable and dynamic patterns of productivity in the fields of STEM, including health, over the 20th century. Ongoing internationalization of higher education and science has been accompanied by increasing competition and collaboration. Despite policy goals to foster innovation and expand research capacity, policies cannot fully account for the differential growth of scientific productivity we chart from 1975 to 2010. Approach and Research Design Our sociological neo-institutional framework facilitates explanation of differences in institutional settings, organizational forms, and organizations that produce the most European research. We measure growth of published peer-reviewed articles indexed in Thomson Reuters’ Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE). Findings Organizational forms vary in their contributions, with universities accounting for nearly half but rising in France; ultrastable in Germany at four-fifths, and growing at around two-thirds in the United Kingdom. Differing institutionalization pathways created the conditions necessary for continuous, but varying growth in scientific production and productivity in the European center of global science. The research university is key in all three countries, and we identify organizations leading in research output. Originality/value Few studies explicitly compare across time, space, and different levels of analysis. We show how important European science has been to overall global science production and productivity. In-depth comparisons, especially the organizational fields and forms in which science is produced, are crucial if policy is to support research and development.

Managing Knowledge – The Importance of Databases in the Scientific Production

Background: One of the indicators for the development of any country is its scientific and technical production both on national and international levels. The universities play a pivotal role in the scientific productions of any country. Furthermore, the cultural factors have an immense influence on the production of science. In fact, scientific production and development cannot be achieved without accounting for the cultural and social issues. Aim: The aim of the present study is to determine the cultural factors affecting the participation of faculty members at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences during 2015 in the production of science. Methods: The research method of the study is descriptive-survey. The data collection tool was researcher-constructed questionnaire. After confirming the validity and reliability, the sample was considered to be 260 faculty members at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. Results: The results showed that behavioral patterns, attitudes, beliefs, values, and norms are respectively among the most important cultural factors affecting the participation of faculty members at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences in the production of science. Conclusion: Accordingly, the following suggestions were made with regard to the role of cultural factors in the participation of university faculty members in the production of science: continuously selecting top researchers, allocating appropriate rewards for the production of science, improving the research skills of the faculty members, effective cooperation to improve scientific productions, trying to increase the most relevant scientific productions, interest and determining short- and long-term goals for the universities.

Scientific production is an essential activity in universities, and this may have been compromised by the Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, it is important to explore the aspects related to scientific research production during the pandemic, such as teaching performance, hours dedicated to research, academic degree, and gender. In this article, this analysis is conducted at a private university in Lima, on undergraduate professors of the Medicine program. Documentary analysis was applied to gather data on professors for later submission to logistic and gamma regression. A correlation was found among research hours, male researchers, academic degree, and scientific production. However, there is no connection between teaching performance and scientific production in both genders. Certainly, the connection between the research dynamics and gender disparities must be the focus of the discussion, especially in a pandemic context that strengthens domestic tasks and the gender roles attached to them. It is remarkable how the bibliography devoted to the analysis of the aspects related to production, usually avoids the gender variable in their research.

This research aimed to characterize the Latin American scientific literature production on burnout between 2010 and 2020. A descriptive study was carried out with Latin American publications in journals indexed in the Scopus database as the unit of analysis. The variables studied were document frequency, scientific production by country, number of authors, institutional affiliation and scientific production by descriptor on burnout. The documentary type that appears the most is research papers with 85.03%. Out of a total of 154 authors affiliated to 163 Latin American institutions, the trend of scientific production by country shows that Brazil leads with 52.51% of the production in Latin America. The journals with the largest production were Revista da Escola de Enfermagem (n= 8), Revista Brasileira de Medicina do Trabalho and Revista Latino Americana de Enfermagem, with 22 documents each. Scientific production studies on an area of knowledge guide the research work. Thus, knowing what publications have been made on burnout will allow us to establish a Latin American research policy that will benefit the psychological discipline. However, it is necessary to increase the number of studies on burnout in Latin America in order to consolidate authorship collaboration and the literature on the subject.&#x0D; &#x0D; Received: 2 August 2021 / Accepted: 3 October 2021 / Published: 5 November 2021

This research aimed to present the profile of production of Nursing Education Research Groups (NERG) scientific and technological production in the South of Brazil. This documentary, quantitative, exploratory-descriptive retrospective research was guided by the active search for products in the Lattes curriculum of previously selected NERG researchers, based on the 2006 Census of the Research Group Directory/CNPq, between 1995 and 2008. The results indicated that the 18 NERG from southern Brazil produced 453 papers in proceedings, 371 book chapters, 206 books, 1,437 scientific articles and 08 technological products, but no patent was registered. NERGs scientific production in the research region has grown progressively over the past 14 years. To strengthen this structure, the establishment of collaborative networks can be used as a strategy, so that political-scientific joint actions in the sector can advance science and technology.

Scientific Production and Productivity in Curriculum Vitae Characterisation: Simple and Nested H Indices that Support Cross-Disciplinary Comparisons

Science production has multiplied in many countries; this indicates the active cooperation in interdisciplinary filed such as knowledge management which has gained significant advancements through effective communication in scientific activities. This research analyses the status of publications and citations to knowledge management’ productions in web of science database dated between 200 and 2010. it was conducted through library method to collect data from WOS by searching this formula in advanced search “TE=knowledge management” during MAY 6 to 16, 2011.The results show that more than the average of scientific productions indexed in SCI section, published in English language. Total Number of citations to the scientific productions is about eight times of their total number and the growth curve of citations is increasing. Most scientific productions belong to United State and England respectively. Although there are 56 Islamic countries, the rate of their scientific productions is very low in this field. Information is separately collected and analyzed in aspects of Source titles, subject areas, institutions and authors who have most scientific productions in knowledge management. LECTURE NOTES IN COMPUTER SCIENCE journal has published 234 papers in this field. 102 subject areas which have published scientific production in knowledge management field, the most papers were indexed in COMPUTER SCIENCE area with 2040 papers. 500 institutions has cooperated in knowledge management’ scientific production, but NATL CHENG KUNG UNIV has placed in the first place with 53 papers amongst other institutions and has allocated 1.20 of total number of papers published in this field. “Review: Knowledge management and knowledge management systems: Conceptual foundations and research issues” is the hot paper with 874 citations in knowledge management field. GOTTSCHALK is the prolific author in knowledge management field with 18 papers. As regards, Knowledge sharing is an important step of knowledge management, articles related to knowledge sharing published in web of science database during 2000-2010 is analyzed base on the cooperative countries and subject areas. According to Low growth scientific productions of Islamic countries in knowledge management and knowledge sharing, it is better that researchers of universities, scientific and research centers in Islamic countries attempt increase their scientific productions in Interdisciplinary fields such as in knowledge management and knowledge sharing, and effectively develop and improve their international cooperation in the future.

PurposeThis study aims to measure the number of scientific production of Italian professors, as framed on academic disciplines of Physical training and methodology (code M-EDF/01) and Sport sciences and methodology (code M-EDF/02), afferents to academic recruitment field of Exercise and sports sciences (code 06/N2) and Didactics, special education and educational research (code 11/D2).MethodsThe sample consisted of the entire population of full professors (n = 30) of M-EDF/01 and M-EDF/02, plus a proportional representation of the two academic recruitment fields with at least one associate professor per university, for a total of 78 professors. The titles of the first ten scientific products in terms of more citations from the Google Scholar database were analysed for each scientist. The title's full coherence at the scientific declaration of the two academic disciplines of M-EDF/01 and M-EDF/02 and biomedicine and pedagogy domains were assessed. One-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc test was used to compare the two academic disciplines of the two academic recruitment fields with the three domains to highlight the separated data’s greater, average and lesser significance.ResultsThe aggregate data showed a prevalence of the biomedicine domain over the sport and physical activity ones in M-EDF/01 and M-EDF/02 in the academic recruitment field of 06/N2. On the other hand, in the academic recruitment of 11/D2, there was a prevalence of sport and physical activity domain over the biomedicine ones. In addition, a modest pedagogy scientific production in 06/N2 and biomedical in 11/D2 were found.ConclusionThe existence of the problem of the different coherence of the scientific profiles of the researchers concerning the relevant academic recruitment field and possibly also to the two academic disciplines was confirmed.

Objective Nowadays, organizations and institutions evaluate their performance to ensure that they are taking the right steps towards their goals and missions. In this regard, universities and research institutes assess their success in achieving their goals by analyzing their scientific outputs and productions. This study aims to investigate the scientific productions and collaborations of the authors affiliated with the University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences (USWRS) in Scopus database in comparison with five medical universities. Materials &amp; Methods This study, using scientometric techniques, was conducted on June 5, 2021. The information about scientific productions of the USWRS and other five universities of Golestan University of Medical Sciences, Qazvin University of Medical Sciences, Semnan University of Medical Sciences, Hamedan University of Medical Sciences, Zanjan University of Medical Sciences were identified were extracted from the Scopus database and then converted into scalable format in Sci2 software. The output was then plotted in VOSviewer software. Results The mean number of authors for the USWRS in each article was 9, and the highest scientific collaborations was with the authors from United States, United Kingdom and Sweden. The authors for the USWRS also had a significant co-authorship with each other. According to the national ranking, this university was ranked 23 lower than Hamedan University of Medical Sciences and Golestan University of Medical Sciences. In terms of the number of published papers, it was in the second place after Hamadan University of Medical Sciences. The level of international cooperation of this university was more than other compared universities. Conclusion It seems that the USWRS’s scientific policy has been successful in increasing the scientific productions. More efforts should be made in this university to establish scientific collaborations with other universities at the national and international levels for encouraging authors.

Scientific production studies help describe the progress of scientific knowledge in a discipline. Therefore, those who hold director positions should promote scientific production and publication of scientific knowledge to address health problems. The objective was to identify the scientific production of psychology program directors from Peruvian universities. A search was made for all psychology programs in Peruvian universities. Thus, psychology program directors’ scientific production was identified and analyzed in the Scopus and Web of Science databases between 2000 and 2019. The search for the directors’ scientific production was conducted through ORCID, GOOGLE SCHOLAR, CTI Vitae (former DINA), Scopus and Web of Science. Thirty-eight psychology program directors were identified, five of them conducted a scientific publication, all of them from private universities. Of the articles assessed, 50% and 60% had a psychology program director as first author or corresponding author. In addition, 70% were original articles, 40% of which were analytical studies. Psychology program directors’ scientific production is limited. The articles published are mainly original and are concentrated in Latin American journals. It is likely that, since they have no experience in scientific production and publication, their leadership in promoting research is vulnerable.
